Im a middle aged student. Took her twice. Waitlisted for a 3rd. Great teacher. Really helped me improve, inspired me to be a better writer. Very patient with my complete lack of skills with citing - taught me to navigate the digital world as s student. I wish I could take her every semester. Really enjoy the challenges she gives us

She is definitely a great professor but it is sooo much work online. 2500 word literary analysis which was almost impossible to meet. Falls behind on grading. Extremely thorough with her instructions. Answers emails very fast and is really the sweetest lady. Take her!! but maybe not if you're not an english major (like myself)

All of the papers you have to write for this course are directly linked to the homework, so I suggest you do it!! Really isn't that hard of a course for anyone who actually pays attention.

Comment:

Professor Saragusa is nice and wants all of her students to succeed. However, she is very annoying about grading. I never received a grade on my final essay, yet I have received my final grade for the class. Pretty much impossible to contact her when not in the classroom. Average professor.

Prof. Saragusa is AMAZING! She is personable, understanding, and caring. A total of 3 essays, and some minor things in between, but nothing crazy. The class is in a computer lab. All work can be completed in class, and no need to pay for printing. She allows you to print your work in the classroom. If you have the chance to take her, DO IT!

I took Prof Saragusa for ENGL 121 and I loved it. It was a little boring in the mornings but honestly the class went smooth and she genuinely cares about her job. Show up, do your HW, and take time on the papers and you'll be fine. Not to bad!

She usually lets us out like 20 minutes early. She's really helpful when you ask a question. Super enthusiastic in class so it's easier to stay focused and pay attention.

Super nice. Makes sure to update class on all assignments and what is expected of assignments. Gives great feedback. There's A LOT of reading, but she picks interesting stories to read. She answers back emails in a timely manner. Easy grader as long as you do the work on time and don't BS. Def. recommend her!

Worst On line Teacher Ever. Didn't grade first work until one month into semester. Watches how long you spend online and makes smart remarks if your not on long. Doesnt realize some people print thing out to do work. Brookdale changes on line course application - it is terrible....Bring Angel back. Dropped class :(

Comment:

This was the worst online class, i have taken at BCC. She did not respond to any of my emails, on a timely matter. The phone she provided to contact her was never picked up or the machine was full. There was no clarity on the term paper. I did very well on the assignments and the exam but still gave me a C, which brought down my GPA. Terrible!!!

Comment:

I took this class online, as long as you read the material and respond on time you will get an A. The teacher was very sweet and took the time to write a full response on every assignment that was due each week. She just took a while to respond. Very easy class if you give your time to read the stories 2 times.
